Can’t think of a more perfect candidate for @IPCC_CH chair for the 7th assessment cycle. Debra Roberts @ProfDRoberts has a perfect mix of academic excellence and practical implementation experience.

#Africa is highly vulnerable to #ClimateChange. Africans are employed largely in climate-exposed sectors like agriculture (55-62% of sub-Saharan Africa’s workforce) and 95% of crops are rain-fed.

The world is on average 1.1°C warmer than in 1850-1900. North #Africa warmed at twice the rate. Warming could accelerate or stabilise depending on development choices, #GreenhouseGas emissions & land use patterns.

From 2000 to 2019, natural disasters affected 337m people in #Africa (80% by #floods, 16% by #droughts). 46 000 lost their lives (32% in floods, 46% in droughts). #ClimateChange makes disasters more frequent and severe.
